Bug Description
The primary function of this program (geda_sch2sym.bsh) is to generate a symbol from a given schematic. In order to do this, it performs two main steps:
1. uses data from a schematic file (*.sch) to create an I/O ports list (*_IO_ports.ini)
2. uses data from an I/O ports list (*_IO_ports.ini) to create a symbol file (*.sym)
Users may choose to perform a single step individually (option 1 or option 2) or perform both steps simultaneously (option 3).
Option 1: sch-->ini
Option 2: ini-->sym
Option 3: sch-->sym
The user is able to configure the symbol default settings in an initialization file (*.ini). Options 1 and 3 require an initialization file (geda_sch2sym.ini) to be located the directory folder containing the schematic file.
Option 1: Create an I/O ports list ini file from a schematic file
(outputs anyname_
[program path]geda_
Option 2: Create a symbol file from an I/O ports list ini file
(outputs anyname.sym)
[program path]geda_
Option 3: Create a symbol file from a schematic file
(outputs anyname_
[program path]geda_
Requested few times on the mailing list, worth reviewing & looking at including in distribution.
